I've been using the Hatch Restore 3 for about a month now, and it's completely transformed my sleep routine. The first night I tried the 'Ocean Waves' sound, I fell asleep faster than I had in years - no more lying awake staring at the ceiling!
What really surprised me is how the sunrise alarm works. Instead of jolting awake to a blaring alarm (we've all been there), I now wake up gradually as my room fills with warm light. Last Tuesday, I actually woke up before the alarm sound even started - that's never happened before!
The physical design is brilliant too. That single large button is perfect when you're half-asleep - no fumbling for tiny buttons. I use the bedside light feature almost every night when I need to find my water glass.
Pro tip: The free sounds are more than enough. I created my perfect routine with brown noise and a 30-minute sunrise, and haven't felt the need for the subscription.
My only gripe? I wish it had battery backup. When our power went out last week, I had to use my phone alarm - and immediately missed my Hatch!
